Over the weekend, I plan to test
1) FLAC vs LPCM @ 16/44 from the SB Touch
2) Hi-res LPCM vs. FLAC at 24/96 from Logitech Media Server
3) Hi-res LPCM vs. FLAC from the SB Touch.

My Hi-res LPCM test files are 24/96 from Vinyl via my CJ PV-15 phono MC preamp, with A/D via EMU 0404 USB.

Sounds good Alex, and results should prove interesting as you will know the test pieces intimately...

It is disappointing that nobody is posting the problem with a different computer/DAC combo, since if it is indeed a universal truth as claimed, the power of the computer/OS/Player could be examined and quantified as a contributory element.

Shame, but for now, investigation of this issue is of necessity restricted to the Squeezebox.

Good luck in the tests
